Comment:

Prof. Newman was almost saintly to the program at this university in her committment to her students, her dynamic program and her high standards for her students. If you want a class that is easy and unchallenging, go elsewhere. Yes, I'm talking to you.

Comment:

Michelle has only help for those students who allow her to help them. If students put up blocks and ignore criticism they will find frustration and anger (as previous 'reviews' indicate). Those who listen and begin to trust will find growth, maturity and results.

Comment:

As others have said, she plays favourites, and seems more interested in having her own cult than in teaching anything actually useful.

Completely useless and frustrating class. The enormous workload was unreasonable and, for all I put into the class, I learned very little.

Comment:

I like Michelle, but she chooses obvious favourites in the class and seems to only respect artsy-farty, prancing around the stage theatre. There is a lot to learn from her, but the cult following that she has is annoying.

Comment:

She pushes you too your limits..many will find her hard and sarcastic, but these are the very things that I like about her. She makes sure that you do put in all the effort into what you are doing. She is fair in marking, seeing how you perform. Totally inspirational and passionate about what she do

Comment:

Assignments are very unclear and often are only explained after your performance, when she tells you everything you did wrong. Seems to have a preformed notions about who you are and what your work is like. Workload was much greater than normal for a half credit class (even 4th year).

Comment:

Very interesting and intense professor. She expects a lot out of her students, but only because she puts a lot into it herself, and she gives fantastic advice about acting, especially in the numerous mandatory meetings with her. One of the best profs ever
